Thank you for viewing the Chest Pain in My Registry February Case Scenario regarding inclusion criteria. A 75-year-old female presents for an elective cath after pharmacological stress test revealed an area of induced ischemia. The patient undergoes cardiac catheterization and receives a PCI to her proximal LAD. However, during the PCI procedure, the patient begins to experience chest pain and ST elevations on the monitoring system. The cardiologist documents evolving MI. How is sequence 12360 patient type coded? Is it 1. STEMI in hospital? 2. Unstable angina? Or 3. This patient is not included. Take a moment to review to determine how sequence 12360 patient type would be coded. And the answer is number 3. This patient is not included in the Chest Pain in My Registry. For the inclusion criteria document located in our resource page, patients arriving for scheduled procedures such as elective cath or surgeries are not included unless an in-hospital STEMI occurs. Even more, if the in-hospital STEMI is intra or post-elective PCI procedure as in this scenario, these patients are not included in the registry. Thank you for viewing the Chest Pain in My Registry monthly case scenario.
